Thanksgiving Turkey Breasts: Central Texas Style

This is the 1st of 3 recipes for turkey breast that will impress your family members on Thanksgiving. Unlike the two other recipes, this one involves skinless boneless chicken breast and a ton of butter! The recipe is adapted from Aaron Franklin’s version and Rehan Jaffery’s turmeric ghee whole turkey. Towards the end of the cook, the turkey is wrapped with butter to help keep it moist and create a basting sauce for serving.

Dry brine turkey: sprinkle entire surface of turkey with Kosher salt (1 tspn per pound of turkey breast). Rest in fridge for 8-24 hours. This will ensure that the interior of the turkey breast will be salted well.
